It was a delight to work on a series of illustrations for Texas Co-op Power magazine's feature "Tiny Dots on a Big Map", featuring some of the smaller towns of Texas and the funny, quirky stories they have to tell. I illustrated the cover, opening spread featuring a map of Texas with towns from the article, and a series of fun spot illustrations
Below are a few cover illustration concepts I came up with, around the theme of small town Texas, maps and quirky stories
Sketch idea for cover illustration, showing a neon motel style sign with hand lettering, set in a Texas desert landscape
Sketch idea for cover illustration, showing a map of Texas containing hand lettered headline and details from the feature dotted around the outside
Sketch idea for cover illustration, showing a paper map of Texas with a large magnifying glass placed on top, containing the feature headline in hand lettering
Sketch idea for cover illustration, showing a town sign with the feature headline in hand lettering, set in a Texas desert landscape
